I’ve seen entire albums posted on YouTube as “fair use.” I’d hate to be a professional musician these days.
Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman of Turtles and Zappa & The Mothers fame were suing Sirius/XM to get royalty $ from their pre 1972 work.
And yes entire albums (Beatles etc) have been posted on youtube, but in some cases they have been taken down.
As a longtime college radio DJ, I have interviewed smaller-scale artists, etc. who have said the occasional song they do (like from a live performance) put on youtube is OK as it helps promote them. A whole album or concert is another matter. On my radio show I’m restricted to playing only 3 songs or so by a certain artist/from that artist’s album. Of course if I have a local performer in the studio and he does 6 or 7 songs live,
and we get his permission for the streaming or even a podcast, that’s fine(we may label it as “single” or “live”)...
